I am so excited to bring to you yet another delicious and healthy dish! I am going to take this fan favorite and put nutrition back in it! (The classic recipe has a bunch of scary things in it). Ingredients: 2 lbs of prime beef chuck, cut into thin strips 1/4 cup gluten-free tamari 3 tbsp […]

I have a huge crush on DeSano Pizzeria. The owner, Jimmy, gave Joel and I a tour of the restaurant, from the dough room, to the cooler, to the wood burning ovens and pizza making stations. I was wowed in so many ways. Did you know he imports his mozzarella and ricotta straight from Italy […]

Delightful scents of smokey meats, fresh fish, and Japanese sake fill the air as you walk into Kemuri. The owner’s of Ramen Tatsu-Ya opened up this izakaya, a casual pub eatery, with a mission – serve solid Japanese food and pay homage to the building’s previous eatery, Live Oak BBQ.

If you haven’t been to Portland, Oregon – now is the time to go. I had the most AMAZING time there this past Christmas and I already miss it. Portland is kind of like an Austin 2.0 (as much as I love Austin it’s just true). Take a look below at all the gorgeous things […]

We all love the feeling of eating a healthy, nutritious meal, but sometimes finding one that tastes decent is a struggle. What I love about Chi’lantro, and why I wanted to spotlight them on my blog, is that they totally understand the blend of health + nutrition! And that they are much more than just […]

A few weekends ago, my sweet Joel took me out to Jacoby’s for a lovely date night. We chose this place after a friend convinced us it was worth going to (she was REALLY enthusiastic). And I totally see why. Even though she hyped it up, I wasn’t sure it was going to live up to […]

After our night in Memphis, we headed to our friend’s wedding at Madison Creek Farms in Goodlettsville, Tennessee (just a quick drive north of Nashville). It was hot and sweaty and beautiful. The only thing I love more than beautiful friends gathered for love and commitment is the food and drinks that come with it. […]
